Most Alarming.

Perhaps the most alarming feature
of the modern pulpit is the absence OF
the Gospel in Gospel preaching. A
thousand sermons are preached every
Sabbath which scarcely relate to the
substance of Christianity. Whole
hours and days are consumed In elabo-
rate discussions of themes remotely
connected with religion, but not having
in them scarcely modicum of spiritual
food for the people. But while such
ministrations tend directly to quench
the ardor of devotion and multiply
dead churches, yet they do NOT excuse
any man who is not athirst for right
eousness. Each individual is respon-
sible for his own lack of divine aspirar
tions. It is not in the power OF any
man, or class of adverse circumstances,
to still the throbbings of the heart for
holiness. A seeker may burn with
furnace heat in the midst of iceberga
He may sit under q barren pulpit and
mingle with the coolest worshipers,
and yet, rejecting the chat and wax,
feed on the finest wheat and honey
from the rock. -Diuine Life

LADY BRASSEY ON Il BARHcW.


The perfect ease with which Lady
Brassey could adapt herself to the
force of circumstances may be gathered
from the following illustration, which
happened at Williamstown. Lord and
Lady Brassey had arrived from Mel
bourne at Williamstown terminus ex-
pecting to get cab. No cabs were to
be found, and Lord Brassey went in
search of q vehicle of some sort to
transport her ladyship to the Sum
beam. To obtain one was an imperar
tive necessity, owing to the very infe'
rior pedestrian powers of her ladyship.
After traversing some distance his
lordship lighted on local vegetable
hawker, whose services he enlisted, and
with which he returned to the ter
minus. The cabbages, potatoes, car
rots, and sundry fruit boxes having
been carefully placed in one corner,
and an extempore seat adjusted, the
man of vegetables and his lordship as
sisted her ladyship aboard, and the
grotesque carriage bore its occupants
to the yacht Lord Brassey, on part
ing with the hawker, gave him half
sovereign, while her ladyship shook
him cordially by the hand, and told
him to call down and get an order for
vegetables for the whole vessel during
their staY.--Lo1dO71 Times.

In silence descending,
Their numbers unending,
The crystalline snowfakes fan;
In hesitance lowering.
And then gently covering
The earth with their white. heecy pail
All nature adorning
In the light of the morning,
Like pure bridal veil OF queen:
The kingly sun glowing,
As II proudly showing
The Iustrous, immaculate sheen.
Anew glory showering
On mountain tops towering,
With silver their crests eilded Ger;
Sweet fragrance delivering
To pina-needles quivcring.
With ecUasy filling each pore.
Like diamonds glittering.
Yet never embittering
The wearor with envy or grief;
But tenderly cherishing
Gods food fer the perisb;ng
In rootlet and bread-giving Leaf.
With white robe inclosing
The calm lake reposing
In woodland, or valley, or glen:
In purity shining,
The whole earth refining
From folly and grossness Of men.

w. L. SMITH tried to commit suicide
at Fargo the other day. He paid a
man 25 cents to hang him. They went
to the barn, found rope, and when
about ready to commit the deed his as
sistant returned to the bar for drink,
and did not return. Smith then went
to his room, secured dose of NOR
phine, and placed it in some whisky.
Before he could drink it, the proprietor
of the hotel broke into his room and
took It away.

success in life. Of course / can
understand that q man with good
character and no cash might starve to
death, while with very poor char
acter and plenty of cash he could live
on the fat of the land and be arrayed
in tailor-made clothes and the latest
styles of walking-sticks. It doubtless
happens. and not infrequentlv. that q
poor but in every way deserving man
may be- compelled to go idle and hun
cry, but the proper amount of willing
ness. push, and perseverance will gem
orally bring him out all right.
l have long ago come to the con-
clusion that the greatest curse which
can come to man is enforced idleness.
It is bad enough when q fellow, from
laziness and general cussedness, won't
work, but when he is both willing and
anxious to work, and when, too, he may
have loved ones who are dependent on
then, I say, no more bitter experience
can come TO man. In this connection.
too, have often thought that he who
works for hire should be very careful
of his reputation; be very watchful of
his employers interests, and very dill
gent in looking after them, so as to re-
duce to a minimum the chances of his
being thrown out of his situation and
being compelled to tramp the streets
in search of work.
Ihave noticed, too, that many employ
ers there are who do not treat their
help just right in this respect. They
regard an employe as cog only in the
machinery of their business, and when
they find they can temporarily dispense
with it, they do so. and depend upon
replacing it again when they shall need
It. This is wrong; better to keep the
help at reduced pay, during dull sea-
son, if they want to stay under such
conditions, than to turn faithful men
away with no work at any price.
But coming back to this question of
character, it is always worth looking
after-you go to buy bill of goods
from house with whom you have
never before had dealings. They turn
to their commercial reports and find
you rated, Capital small, but is
prompt pay; character and habits
good" That firm will hustle around
and fill your order as promptly as
though your financial rating had been
way up in the hundreds of thousands
In fact, so great is mans confidence in
character as guide in his estimate o:
his fellows, that sometimes he gets
most wofully taken in; however, it is
certainly reasonable conclusion that
man who always has been honest will
continue so for thirty days longer at
any rate. And, as rule, am glad to
say the conclusion holds good. It is so
in your business, too, I imagine. But
I am getting sleepy, George, and so
say goodnight. Yours as ever,
UNCLE SAM.

Putting Up q Boys Lunch.

A recent writer and she writes as
one whom any boy would love-tells
how she saw mother put up lunch
for g boy to take to school, and then
she tells very prettily how daintily she
would have put up that lunch, and 1
know she would do just as she said.
Now, if I were going to put up lunch
for q boy ID years old, I wouldn't take
little tin pail nor yet neat little
covered bucket. I would just take the
market basket, if the family wasn't
going to use it that day, and would cut
up loaf of bread, and trim off every
bit of the crust to keep the boy from
living about it, and telling me that he
ate it and didn't fire it over the fence,
when he came home. would cut that
loaf of bread into slices and spread on
butter until it began to fall off, then /
would stack on the sugar as long as it
would hold. Then I would load a
couple of links of sausage and some
slabs of ham; dainty cluster Of hard
boiled eggs-say half dozen-all the
cake there was in the house, and fill
up the rest of the space with pie, and
then stuff two of his pockets full of
apples to eat during ool-hours, and
fill the rest of his pockets with nuts,
and give him five cents to buy "taffy.
Then, if that boy came home at 4 o'clock
and said he didn't have enough
luncheon, and couldn't he have piece, ]
would give him the keys to the cellar.
